Never Enough Colorwork

Kassie can't get enough of colorwork!

  One of my most recent FOs: Heartskull Hat by Siouxsie Stitches.

My spooky beanie! :)

  It was a quick knit for me, whipped up in two weekends. :) If you need one before Halloween, but don't know how to do colorwork, I teach a class on how to knit with a color in each hand!

  I knit them both using Kenzie, which is now a Stash-quisition yarn, AND we just got 10 new colors in!!!!
  I've got a bit leftover of the blue and purple, so I've decided to use them up to make another hat. I plan on knitting Clayoquot Toque by tincanknits, which is part of their newest collection, Road Trip. We'll be getting in our copies soon, and hopefully a Trunk Show too!

  Here's the three colors together, Boysenberry, Tekapo, and Glacier, along with my lil doodles to try and choose which colors to put where.

I might have to flip a coin, I think they both look cute!

Natural Dyeing Series: Marigold FO

   Hi there again!

I've finished my Arbutus! 

   It was a really quick knit, and now I've got a really unique accessory.

   It took me about two weeks to knit up. Since I used a thicker yarn and bigger needle than the pattern called for, it came out a bit larger than the original. I also omitted one repeat from the first tier, so it's one welt smaller. I love how it turned out, and INSilk keeps getting softer and softer! There are a few more details on my ravelry project page, if you're curious.
   Next time you're in the shop, feel free to ask me about my new cowl or the book it's in, "Island" by Jane Richmond. :)

Charli Lace Hat in Kenzie

[Hello fiber friends!]

Do you feel the chill in the air? 

The crunchy leaves under your boots? Your delicious warm drink?

Fall has arrived here in Kent and it's my favorite season! It's the season for all things cozy, warm, and robust. I love making gluten free soup to enjoy with friends and family. Sugar and spice is always nice! Like RylieCakes' wonderful Chai Pumpkin Sandwiches, or a hot coconut chai tea.

My favorite part about Fall is the rustic looking, soft, squishy, and tweedy wools that just beg to be knit into something! Have you tried Kenzie? Regulars at the shop know we are crazy for it and we just got 10 new colors in! 

I'm drooling over Boysenberry, it is so vibrant, saturated, and gorgeous. 

My new pattern Charli Lace Hat uses just 1 skein of Kenzie and works up so quick to keep your head nice and toasty!

Would you like to knit with a group and have some help? I will be teaching a class on this hat Friday December 6th & 13th from 4:30 - 5:30pm.
